It's plainly clear that we are supposed to get an insight into how things have come full circle for the lives of everybody in Smallville. Clark went from geek, to Krypton menace, back to geek. Lana went from Smallville, to France, and now back to Smallville. Chloe went from alive, to dead, to back to being alive again. All in all, things seem to be a lot better where all of these people started. Everybody is in their senior year, including Lois. I know, Lois looks quite a bit older right? Well, it turns out she was just about to enter her first year at college when she decided to try a stint as a PI to find Chloe's killer. Much to the chagrin of clark, her dad informs her just as she is about to leave that she didn't have enough credits to enter college because she flunked her last semester of high school[not college, thanks for the correction, j4r3d]. Senioritis, it happens to the best of us.

Suffice it to say, Lois has to go back to school, and although she complains about how she hated it the first time around, life can't be that bad when you roll into school with a classic red 1973 Boss Mustang convertible[picture from Mustang Source]. She rides with Chloe and they argue over how hard it would be to get five credits without any extracurricular activities. Just so happens that Chloe needs somebody to write for the Torch, Smallville's newspaper. Despite her protests that she hates snooping in other people's business, Lois quickly finds a reason to do exactly that.

While walking into school, Chloe and Lana notice Abby Fine, who went from being the ugliest kid in school freshman year, and transformed into the school's number one hottie just in time for her classes to begin. Abby is quite a piece of tail, but Lois can spot obvious signs that some plastic surgery was involved. While she didn't look as bad as say, the people entering the Prada on Rodeo Drive, she clearly had some work done. It's not a stretch to imagine why, since Abby's mom is a plastic surgeon(and one who bears a fairly good resemblance to Joan Rivers). This leads into a whole morality debate between Chloe and Lois on plastic surgery. Chloe's argument, which is basically if that is what it takes for a person to feel good about themselves, so be it. Lois wonders how young is too young. I was also wondering about Chloe's answer, because it seems way out of line with her, but perhaps she was empathizing with Abby about being rejected by those you seek most.

Clark has a larger dilemma on his hands. He wants to play football because he always felt like an outsider looking in. I know what you are saying. Superman? Football? There would be more suspense waiting for a one-legged man to win an ass kicking contest. Still, Clark is confident that he can control his powers, and seeks some advice from Coach Teague, a new member of the football staff. Teague, as in Jason Teague, as in Lana's boyfriend is now a coach at her school. They obviously have to keep their relationship a secret, which is fine when all they are doing is sneaking a kiss when Lana is on a hall pass to use the bathroom. I wonder how many times Jason is going to have to hear "Lana Lang? Yeah, I'd tap that ASS!" in the locker room before he goes apeshit on his players. I mean, a lot of stuff happens in Smallville, he could have sold insurance, right?
